My 7-year-old son is in need of a Psychiatric Service Dog and your help. He has ADHD, ODD, and is possibly on the Autism Spectrum. Due to the dogs extensive training, they are very costly. After grants and company donations, the remaining cost we need to pay is upwards of $17,000. Anything will help and I thank you for your assistance and consideration.
**please note** any amounts above and beyond what are required will be donated to another child for their furever friend**
After Donovan’s heart stopped 4 times during labor, after an emergency c-section, my handsome little man was finally in my arms. Everything seemed to be perfect with him. He started pureed foods at 10 months and didn’t tolerate it very well… he started walking at 15 months after his ear tube surgery... I was assured all was fine and normal… that was the beginning of a long line of lies and deception towards my son.
Donovan was not quite 2 when his world was turned upside down. He and I were now on our own; although no different than our life before. Once settled, I could tell something was wrong. He still giggled and smiled but it was no longer my baby boy. His behavior was different and outside the recent occurrences. He was so angry and lashed out because he couldn’t tell me what was wrong. We started seeing his Pediatrician and were told, countless times, “He’s a boy and he’s being a boy. He’ll grow out of it”. He didn’t grow out of it! It all got worse.
My boy hurts, cries in pain, and I can’t help him. He runs away and I fear he will be hurt before I can get to him. He has outbursts and meltdowns, not knowing the true reason or be able to understand without words. You go thru the motions until you stumble upon an Organization, like 4 Paws for Ability, willing to assist and make your son’s life just that much easier.
Much love to one and all!
